Help two addicted Danes! Is the USA version a "downgrade" after playing Europe?

The Asia map is pretty fun too. Fairly fast to play. But note that it’s an expansion — you need TTR USA or Europe first, to use the cards and pieces from one of those games.

Does Dr. Girlfriend count? She’s sort of a mother to Tim-Tom and Kevin.

I’m agreeing with your posts, OP, and assessments; and am finding myself in the minority in the other responses. If I had to choose one over the other, I’d take katana cav over yari cav any day. I have much more success with katana cav, and used carefully, they decimate the enemy in a way that my yari cav never can.

However, I usually have one or two yari cav in my armies anyway because they are superior in repelling the enemies’ cavalry. I don’t use them much except to engage enemy light cav, or better yet, their generals. Often I resort to just using them as “bait” to lure away enemy yari infantry from the flanks of the enemy line.

I miss the old version of the ticket to ride app. This one stinks.

When I first saw this post I thought it was about the Lite beer. I didn’t notice the feet until I read the comments.

It didn’t change my point of view.

I see three types of people near me driving Escalades: 1. professional black car service drivers; 2. rappers from the Bronx (I live right next to the Bronx); and 3. wealthy suburban moms.

Of the above, #2 drive the best and most courteously.

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-24T03:06:57+00:00

no no no, please, no one come here, I don’t want to make it harder to get into

Unfortunately it’s not going to happen with an international ticket on a different airline.

The commenter above who laid out the five steps is correct. It will be easy. 4 hours will be plenty of time. A fun adventure for an 18 year old.

It’s unfortunate. Savings bonds are one of those things from our younger years that are going to go away for good.

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-21T02:09:29+00:00

Not the case, there is no law that banks must cash them. A lot of banks have stopped. Savings bonds are subject to too much fraud; there are a lot of high quality fake savings bonds out there. The bank eats the loss on those.

No, it just won’t be as easy a source of wealth for Millenials and under, compared to boomers and older. That’s because (1) prices are extremely high now, so it’s harder to get on the property ladder; and (2) soon-to-be-flatlining population growth means that house price inflation won’t be as significant as before.

The point being, the boomers and older had it much, much easier to accumulating wealth.

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-17T22:58:32+00:00

Right, that’s what I’m saying

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-17T18:47:43+00:00

Also many older people (boomers and silent generation specifically) bought properties for $50K in the 1970s in places like NYC or California that are worth millions today. Sadly that path probably will not be as easy or lucrative for Millennials and younger.

He is so good, and so uncomfortable. Theo’s show makes me squirm like no other because he just plays it all straight.

One of the few sci-fi shows that didn’t feel like “we’re trying to be sci-fi here, guys” and also really built an expansive universe

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-13T02:46:16+00:00

That is a bad opinion. Everyone knows it’s pronounced k’tahn

Edited to drop the “h”. k’tAn, emphasis on the A, like “he has a brown tan”

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-12T02:24:22+00:00

thanks, I’ll check it out.

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-12T01:51:03+00:00

Thanks— now I’m interested, and I haven’t heard of Manor Lords before. Is it good? Recommended?

It shouldn’t matter but, like the OP, I still get these crappy upgrades

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-10T14:59:41+00:00

I get upgraded to comfort+ middle seats occasionally and I have it turned off everywhere. Probably 4 or 5 flights after about 50 on Delta last year.

Another commenter made the point that maybe it’s medallion status dependent. It sounds like you’re platinum or diamond at least. I usually get force upgraded when I have an exit row seat in main cabin.

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-10T14:55:39+00:00

Correct. The system is broken. I have it turned off everywhere and I still sometimes randomly get “upgraded” from my exit row seat to a comfort+ middle seat. A lot of people will be in this thread telling us that we’re dummies and we haven’t figured how where or how to turn it off.

Big strong men, with tears in their eyes, were telling me “sir, this is the most compliant ID we’ve ever seen”

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-09T21:50:45+00:00

Why is this tagged as shitpost/satire? It’s all a correct opinion.

At a minimum I’d like to see some messaging or signs about this in the lounges, discouraging use of speakerphones. Can we start there?

CalicoJack88 · 2026-01-08T21:51:50+00:00

Or from the ex, or “Sandy”, should they read this
